At this time, the old Duke lying on the bed was very embarrassed, "Your Highness, I am very polite. It is really inconvenient to salute."

Murong Bai looked at the old general on the bed and said calmly, "Old Duke, you have spent your entire life in the military and devoted yourself to the country. It is important that you take good care of yourself. The Murong Kingdom needs you."

The old Duke was deeply moved when he heard this. Tears of gratitude welled up in his eyes. He said excitedly, "It is all thanks to the Regent Princess that my family and I are alive again. Thank you, Your Majesty, Princess."

Shangguan Qing smiled slightly and said softly, "Old Duke, you are too polite. The Duke's Mansion deserves all the honor."

Her words were like thunder, and people seemed to recall the scene of the Duke's Mansion fighting for the Murong Kingdom, with five heroes in one family, four dead and one disabled.

Everyone's eyes were blurred with tears, and their hearts were filled with emotion and admiration.

Murong Bai nodded, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Princess, you are right, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion deserves the best, but now we should go back home."

Shangguan Qing nodded, turned to look at everyone in the room, his eyes firm, and gently instructed: "You all take care of yourselves in the next two days. I will come to treat the prince the day after tomorrow."

At this time, Murong Bai had already picked up the person and left directly. Shangguan Qing felt very embarrassed.

She struggled to get down, but Murong Bai held her tightly and she couldn't move.

She could only blush and whisper, "Murong Bai, what are you doing? This is so embarrassing!"

Murong Bai's face was cold and his tone was very serious, "You still feel embarrassed, Qing'er, you are still pregnant and have been out for a day. Have you ever thought about yourself and the child?"

His voice was a hint of blame, but more of worry.

Shangguan Qing finally remembered. She slapped her forehead and said angrily, "Oh, I forgot about it because I was busy. Don't worry, I won't do it again next time."

She showed a trace of guilt towards Murong Baishang. She had indeed neglected the safety of herself and her child.

However, Murong Bai's expression did not soften despite Shangguan Qing's apology. He continued coldly, "I don't care. If something like this happens again, I will punish the people around you. They failed to look after you."

His eyes were firm, as if unquestionable. Shangguan Qing immediately became anxious upon hearing this. She widened her eyes and said angrily, "Murong Bai, don't go too far. It's none of other people's business. They can't control me, right? You're going too far. Don't give me those master-servant doctrines. They won't work with me."

Murong Bai looked at Shangguan Qing's angry expression, and a ripple of emotion could not help but rise in his heart. He quickly lowered his posture and gently coaxed her: "Qing'er, don't be angry. I was too impatient. I will pay more attention next time."

Shangguan Qing's anger instantly dissipated when she heard this, but she still raised her chin in a feigned anger and said coquettishly, "That's more like it!"

Seeing how cute she was, Murong Bai couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that this little woman was really smart and let him fall into the trap she set accidentally.

He shook his head helplessly and said softly, "Qing'er, you should take care of yourself too. It takes time to cure an illness and save a life. Take your time."

Shangguan Qing nodded obediently after hearing this, and said coquettishly, "Murong Bai, I understand. It's just that the situation in the Western Frontier and the Northern Territory is turbulent right now. If a war breaks out one day, we won't even have a general. So I think every person I can save is a good one."

After hearing this, Murong Bai looked at Shangguan Qing deeply, his eyes full of gratitude: "Qing'er, thank you for everything you have done for Murong Kingdom."

Shangguan Qing smiled slightly and shook his head gently: "Murong Bai, you know, I did this not for Murong Guo, but for you."

Murong Bai's heart warmed up, and he hugged Shangguan Qing and was about to kiss him, but fortunately Shangguan Qing stopped him in a hurry.

Shangguan Qing continued, "Murong Bai, after the situation in the capital stabilizes, let's go together to rescue my father, okay?"

Murong Bai held her hand tightly and promised solemnly, "Okay, I understand. Qing'er, once the situation in the capital stabilizes, we will go to the Western Frontier together to rescue my father-in-law, and then go to Dongli. From now on, our family of three will travel around the world, okay?"

Shangguan Qing nodded in agreement: "Well, okay, I think so too. Let's go to Western Xinjiang first and shock them. This way, we can stabilize the situation."

Murong Bai smiled at Shangguan Qing, gently kneading her cheeks, and said softly, "Qing'er, don't worry about these things. Many outstanding generals will emerge from this martial arts competition. Putting them in the military camp to hone their skills for a few years or sending them to the frontier are both good options."

Shangguan Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly, "Murong Bai, who are they?"

Murong Bai raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of a smile: "With your second cousin and the two sons of General Li's family, they are determined to fight for the title of martial arts champion themselves, so this martial arts competition should be very exciting!"

Shangguan Qing became even more excited after hearing this, with anticipation glittering in his eyes: "Great! I want to go and see the finals someday."

Murong Bai couldn't help but laugh when he saw Shangguan Qing so happy. He patted Shangguan Qing's head lovingly and said, "The finals are still a while away. When the time comes, I will definitely bring Shangguan Qing'er to watch it."

As the conversation progressed, Shangguan Qing gradually felt sleepy, her eyes became blurred, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Murong Bai helplessly carried the person down from the carriage. Looking at Shangguan Qing sleeping soundly, Murong Bai curled up the corners of his mouth, gave him a light kiss, and turned around to busy himself with other things.

Shangguan Qing felt as if he was being controlled by someone, and he seemed to have entered a dream in a daze.

She wanted to struggle but was powerless and could only allow a mysterious force to pull her soul out of her body.

At this moment, Shangguan Qing suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was beating wildly.

She looked around and found that there was no one around her. Murong Bai had disappeared.

After hearing the noise, Zhixia hurried into the room and asked with concern: "Miss, you are finally awake! Do you want to have some midnight snack?"

Shangguan Qing nodded. At this moment, she felt hungry and urgently needed to eat to restore her strength.

Zhixia immediately went out to make arrangements, and soon, she brought a bowl of steaming shrimp wontons.

"Miss, eat it while it's hot. The prince has already instructed that you will definitely be hungry when you wake up, so the kitchen is always prepared."

Zhixia said softly, her eyes full of concern.

Shangguan Qing nodded gratefully, took the bowl and began to taste it. Every bite was filled with delicious shrimp meat and rich soup, which made her feel extremely satisfied.

"Zhixia, what is the prince doing? Why hasn't he come back yet so late?"

Shangguan Qing asked curiously while eating wontons.

Zhixia smiled and replied, "The prince said it's nothing serious. Miss, just take care of yourself and take good care of yourself."
